BPR3 - Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting
Posted On Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at at 8:27 PM by SPARCAs you may have noticed I've added the Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting (BPR3) icon to some of my posts and added a BPR3 tag so that you can easily detect my posts on peer reviewed articles.
BPR3 has some guidelines for using its icon:
- The "Blogging on Peer-Reviewed Research" icons are to be used solely to denote individual blog posts about peer-reviewed research.
- While there is no hard-and-fast definition of "peer-review," peer reviewed research should meet the following guidelines:
- Reviewed by experts in field
- Edited
- Archived
- Published with clearly stated publication standards
- Viewed as trustworthy by experts in field
- The post should offer a complete formal citation of the work(s) being discussed.
- The post author should have read and understood the entire work cited.
- The blog post should report accurately and thoughtfully on the research it presents.
- Where possible, the post should link to the original source and / or provide a DOI or other universal reference number.
- The post should contain original work by the post author -- while some quoting of others is acceptable, the majority of the post should be the author's own work.
- Users and readers may report potential abuse of the icons by emailing the site administrator, Dave Munger (remove dashes). Reported abuses may be brought to the attention of readers and discussed publicly online.
- Repeated abuse of the icons will result in removal from our aggregation system.
I hope I've met these requirements. Please let me know if you think that one of these or future posts doesn't make the grade.
